Introduction
The UMUX platform offers a range of compact, flexible, migration capable and managed systems,
offering unequalled multi-service & multi-transmission capability.
The services supported by UMUX range from traditional telephony, broadband Internet access and
private circuits to new services such as broadband Ethernet Private Lines / LANs, Triple Play and
Voice over Packet.
The UMUX Multiservice Access Platform is composed of the following components:
• Network elements (with units)
• Desktops (remote units)
• Management Systems
UMUX is available in 3 subrack versions, UMUX 1500, UMUX 1200 and UMUX 900. Each version
is particularly suited for a range of applications and the corresponding installation requirements
while the system features remain the same. Each subrack uses the same units (release of the unit
for the UMUX type provided).
The UMUX/ UCST R8B platform with Service Pack 02 supports traffic types as follows:
• PDH traffic
The UMUX can multiplex and cross connect both P0-nc and P12x traffic. The cross connect ca-
pacity is in total 128 x 2 Mbit/s (for signals with and without signalling) for the UMUX 1500. The
practically used capacity with the UMUX 1200 and especially the UMUX 900 is well below this
capacity because of the reduced number of slots available for traffic units in the UMUX 1200
and UMUX 900 subracks.
The cross-connect handles structured and unstructured P12 traffic signals for transparent cross
connecting. Structured P12s signals with or without signalling are either switched transparently
or de-multiplexed and switched as P0-nc traffic signals.
Page 5 of 129 Release Note UMUX & UCST R8B SP02 and related functions EN/LZTBU 980 415/512 RA
Introduction
Various traffic units allow the UMUX to connect a big variety of traffic signal types from PSTN,
ISDN-BA and standard data services up to V5 and IP services (IP over PDH).
• SDH traffic
The UMUX provides STM-4 and STM-1 interfaces which allow you to groom E12/P12, E31/32
and IP (Ethernet) tributary traffic for SDH transmission. The UMUX provides electrical STM-1
and optical STM-4/1 interfaces for the aggregate traffic. It is possible to directly connect VC-12
and VC-3 traffic between 2 STM-1 aggregate interfaces and up to VC-4 traffic between the
STM-4 interfaces.
The units with STM-4 and STM-1 aggregate interfaces provide the SETS timing function for the
UMUX.
To cope with the tributary traffic, the UMUX provides units with P12 or E12 interfaces for inter-
nal and external tributaries and an E31/32 interface for external tributaries. A further unit with an
optical STM-1 tributary interface handles high volume tributary traffic for the STM-1 aggregate
interfaces.
• IP traffic
The UMUX provides various units and desktop units with local and remote Ethernet interfaces.
Traffic units with bridging and routing capabilities are available for the processing of IP traffic
between remote interfaces (desktops) and the internal PDH traffic structures.
The processing of IP traffic not only includes routing and bridging but allows for Ethernet over
SDH applications (VLAN) and includes Voice over IP for Access Gateway applications with
NGN.
• ATM traffic
With the ABUS traffic units, it is possible to implement an ATM core for various services in the
UMUX. The UMUX supports ATM as follows:
− ATM layer (according to ATM Forum AF-TM-0121.000, Traffic Management Specification,
Version 4.1)
– Permanent virtual connections (PVCs) only, up to 2048 connections per NE
– Point to point, bi-directional, asymmetric VCCs and VPCs
– UNI cell format
– Service categories supported: CBR, VBR-rt, VBR-nrt and UBR
– Conformance definitions: CBR.1, VBR.1 and UBR.1
– Ingress traffic control functions: Usage parameter control (UPC),
Connection admission control (CAC)
− Egress traffic control functions: VP shaping (STM-1 UNI), CAC

Introduction
in the ATM network. CES includes various synchronisation modes depending on the con-
nection modes on the PBUS
- Adaptive or SRTS for transparent or monitored P12 cross connection
- Synchronous, SRTS or adaptive for terminated or clock master P12 cross
connection modes
The UMUX builds its ATM core with dedicated ATM traffic units around the ABUS. The ABUS is
physically identical with the SBUS. However, the traffic signal structure of the ABUS uses cells
instead of the SDH frames on the SBUS. The ABUS transports the cells from one connection
point to another connection point.
The transport rate of the ABUS for ATM cells is 1215 kcells/s. This is equivalent to a bit rate of
515160 kbit/s (53 bytes per cell).
Depending on the implemented units, the ATM core uses SETS or PETS for system and unit
timing purposes.
• V5.x services
The V5.x options of the UMUX allow you resolve the V5.1 and V5.2 protocol in the UMUX
1500/1200 and to connect local and remote PSTN and ISDN-BA user ports in the UMUX net-
work. The UMUX supports user port access via PDH.
The UCST provides custom parameter sets which allow fast installation and uniform commis-
sioning of new V5 units in the UMUX network. The custom parameter set defines parameters
for the V5.x protocol implementation as well as traffic related parameters.
• NGN services
Telephony NGN (New Generation Network) provides telephony services to legacy terminals
such as analogue and ISDN phones that are not NGN capable. With telephony NGN, the tele-
communication network has distributed switching functionality which is separated from the con-
trol mechanism. The UMUX provides the Access Gateway functionality for telephony NGNs.
The UMUX and its units support functions for NGN as follows:
− Processing of the user port signalling and circuit set-up/release and exchanging of corre-
sponding messages via IP traffic with its MGC (Media Gateway Controller). This includes
– Conversion of analogue telephone traffic into IP traffic (RTP) and vice versa
– POTS: H.248 / MEGACO (ITU-T, H.248.v1) for PSTN signalling conversion from/into
H.248 messages.
− POTS and ISDN BA: H.248 / MEGACO for setting up / tearing down the connection be-
tween a TDM based voice channel and an IP based channel.
− ISDN BA: Signalling gateway for the transport of D-channel frames between the Access
Gateway and the ASP (Application Server Process) using SIGTRAN (IUA/SCTP).

Introduction
The UMUX Multiservice Access Platform includes a set of desktop units for the remote installation
(customer premises) which allow the deployment of remote traffic interfaces and services. The re-
mote units have electrical (xDSL) interfaces for the data transmission with the UMUX NEs. Some
of the desktop units operate in standalone applications as well.
The desktop units (xDSL transmission) provide remote interfaces for
• PDH traffic with various interfaces (G.703, V<xx> , X<xx> interface series)
• Ethernet traffic
Desktop units with Ethernet traffic interfaces include additional traffic functions for IP traffic
processing (e.g. bridging, routing).
Page 9 of 129 Release Note UMUX & UCST R8B SP02 and related functions EN/LZTBU 980 415/512 RA
Introduction
The UMUX features local interfaces for NE management and the ECC (Embedded Communication
Channel) functionality for remote management with the UCST and UNEM:
The ECC is a high performance in-band channel, which allows the implementation of versatile in-
band MCN (Management Communication Networks) for the management of the UMUX 1500,
UMUX 1200 and UMUX 900 networks. The ECC functionality includes OSPF routing for the UMUX
management traffic in the NEs and the transport of the ECC over SDH (OSI tunnelling) and ATM
(ECC over ATM) networks.
The UMUX supports interfaces for management communication as follows

2 New content
2.1 Functionality
This paragraph describes the new functionality of the UMUX and UMUX units.
For details of hardware, ESW and a short list of features please refer to chapter 4: «Summary of units».
SYN4E
The platform R8B introduces the new SYN4E function unit, which is released with the R8B
SP01 for general deployment.
The SYN4E 610 unit provides 2 STM-4/1 and 2 STM-1 SFP based interfaces. The STM-1 inter-
faces support SPF modules with optical or electrical STM-1 interfaces. The STM-4 interfaces
support SFP modules for optical transmission. A local cross connect allows for the cross con-
nection of VC-12, VC-3 and VC-4 traffic between the local STM-x interfaces. For the traffic ac-
cess to other traffic units in the UMUX subrack the SYN4E.provides also access to the SBUS
and to the PBUS for locally terminated SDH traffic. The SYN4E unit implements also the SETS
function for the NE.
Beside the SDH interfaces, SYN4E offers also four electrical 10/100/1000BASE-T interfaces.
The SYN4E handles the encapsulation of the tributary Ethernet traffic into the SDH signals (VC-
12, VC-3 and VC-4).
Please note that the operation of the SYN4E requires a COBU<X> with R5 ESW (≥R5H).
2.1.2.1 NEMSG
The platform R8B with the Service Pack 02 introduces the new NEMSG function unit.
Page 14 of 129 Release Note UMUX & UCST R8B SP02 and related functions EN/LZTBU 980 415/512 RA
Functions and systems © KEYMILE AG
The NEMSG unit has just like the NEMCA / NEMGE eight E&M voice and signalling interfaces. In
addition to this, the NEMSG provides conference circuits allowing the combination of voice and sig-
nalling information of up to 17 participants per conference. The NEMSG also supports P0 data
conferences.
These enhancements make the NEMSG unit even fitter to address multipoint network scenarios in
utilities and private networks. NEMSG is not only able to address new network topologies but of-
fers also an easier user interface to configure these functions. The functionalities of NEMSG in-
clude:
• 8 E&M interfaces with 2-wire or 4-wire voice interface
• 2 signalling interfaces per voice channel
• Support of the E&M signalling interface types I to V
• Support of different network topologies (point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-
multipoint)
• 8 conference circuits with up to 17 participants per conference, maximum 32 participants per
NEMSG unit
• Equipment protection with slot switching
• Simulation of channel failure for debugging or decoupling of a faulty slave
• Unit reset button in GUI
• Using the new UCST wizard, point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint network topologies
with «Shared Protection Ring» can be easily configured
The NEMSG is a functional replacement for the NEMCA / NEMGE units and adds with its confer-
ence features substantial new functionality to the UMUX.
2.1.2.2 NEBRE
The platform R8B with the Service Pack 02 introduces the new NEBRE function unit.
Ethernet based business services are a growing need for public and private network operators.
The UMUX module NEBRE brings wire-speed switching into the UMUX platform to address high
speed Ethernet services. The NEBRE is ideal for bandwidth intensive applications like corporate
internet access, LAN interconnections and VPNs (Virtual Private Networks). The NEBRE offers six
Ethernet interfaces to connect your customers: 4 x 10/100Base-T and 2 x SFP cages for 100Base-
FX or Gigabit Ethernet. When used in conjunction with the STM-4 unit SYN4E in the UMUX, the
NEBRE allows high flexibility in the range of Ethernet services plus the carrier grade reliability of
SDH transport.
Page 15 of 129 Release Note UMUX & UCST R8B SP02 and related functions EN/LZTBU 980 415/512 RA
Functions and systems © KEYMILE AG
The NEBRE is a functional replacement for the existing ETHUB unit of the UMUX. In addition to a
significantly superior Ethernet switching function, the NEBRE is also a managed solution under the
umbrella of the UCST/UNEM system.
Compatibility of the NEBRE
• Control units:
The NEBRE unit requires COBUX R3 at least. If equipment protection for the NEMSG shall be
implemented, both the COBUX ESW and the COBUX template must be R5 or higher.
2.1.2.3 DATA<X> R3
The platform R8B with the Service Pack 02 introduces the R3 of the DATA<X> function units which
provide substantial feature enhancements with respect to the DATA<X> R2. The new features are:
• Direct encapsulation of the DATA<X> Ethernet traffic for the transport via HDLC to DTM (with-
out PPP encapsulation)
• Point-to-multipoint (P2MP) and multipoint-to-multipoint (MP2MP) connectivity between stations
in linear networks with SPRING (Shared Protection Ring) topology.
The table below gives a synoptical overview of the full DATA<X> R3 feature set and the supported

Power supply from mains via the POSUA power converter is not released for the UMUX 1500.
• DUPI4 dual power unit for the redundant power supply of the UMUX 1500 subrack R2. The
DUPI4 is mechanically integrated into the UMUX 1500 subrack R2 (functional supervision via
the COBU<X> interfaces for external alarms).

dependent of the UMUX 1500 subrack (functional supervision via the COBU<X> interfaces for
external alarms).
• Special Units without or limited access to the UMUX internal traffic bus structures.
Among other units these are the ALCAR, ETHUB, IPLM<x>, LECAF, MAGIC, MAGI8 and
TUNOF.
• Simultaneous operation of its 2 ABUS/SBUS Sectors.
The 2 ABUS/SBUS sectors of the UMUX 1500 constitute one logical SETS system (SETS is a
NE level function). The physical SETS systems in the 2 sectors run synchronously. The SETS
system of one of the sectors is the leading Prime SETS Sector and the other sector is the
slave Agent SETS Sector. The Prime SETS Sector provides all the SETS functions and the
ESO-4 signal. The Agent SETS Sector just synchronises to the output signal of the Prime
SETG to create a synchronous signal for its sector.
It is not possible to protect the Prime SETS Sector with the Agent SETS Sector.
The sector with the first configured unit with SETS (SYN4E, SYNUF, SYNI<X>, ATIOP) be-
comes automatically the Prime SETS Sector.

3.2.1 Features
The UMUX 1200 is designed for stand alone installation while still supporting 19-inch and ETSI
rack installations. It operates from standard DC power supply and provides power supply options
for AC mains power supply with battery backup. The UMUX 1200 has a dual subrack power supply
option and fan (internal fan unit) option. Forced ventilation of the UMUX subrack is mandatory for
the operation of some traffic units and for the IP DSLAM functionality. The fan unit is imperatively
required if the UMUX 1200 is operated horizontally (rack installation).
The UMUX 1200 subrack R2 with the FANU2 R2 fan unit (option) has a power capacity of up to
10 A with up to 480 Watt of power dissipation. Please not that the power capacity with the AC pow-
ering option is restricted to 2.8 A / 140 Watt.
The UMUX 1200 can be used to interface the UMUX Access Network to a Backbone Network. This
implies the ability to
• terminate high capacity aggregate signals (STM-1 ATM, STM-4/1 SDH) down to 64 kbit/s cir-
cuits
• provide physical user service interfaces (POTS, ISDN, data leased lines, IP traffic)
• provide transmission capability to remote systems over optical fibre and copper cables (xDSL
transmission interfaces).
• support UMUX CPE for the remote connection of service interfaces including interfaces for IP
traffic.
The UMUX 1200 has a compact subrack and offers 8 standard slots for traffic, control and power
units
The figure below shows the UMUX 1200 architecture and compatible units.

Please note that:
• Partial inventory data means that the units only provide a part of the standard informa-
tion for inventory management.
• If the UMUX 1500 implementation of a particular function (unit) goes with functional
restrictions compared to the features quoted in the unit description, the table shows
the limitations.
• The tables include the version of the «Bootloader» software. The inventory function of
the EM can read the data (if applicable).
• New UBUS units and some of the existing UBUS units feature SW download as well.
• You can compose the name of the files with (compressed) unit software (ESW) by
composing the expressions from the columns «Name» and «Version» as follows (ex-
ample):

5 UCST R8B
5.1 PC / OS requirements
5.1.1 General
The UCST software (32-bit versions) is released for PC/computers running Microsoft Windows®
operating systems as follows:
• Windows® 2000
• Windows® XP Professional
• Windows® Vista Enterprise (32-bit version)
• Windows® Server 2003
The above list of operating systems is definitive.
Principally, it is also possible to operate the UCST R8B SP02 under Windows® Vista
Home Basic. However, some operational restriction applies.
When starting the «Communication Manager», the check for running UCST instances
fails. Accordingly, no error is reported if there are running instances and the changes
of the RAS/Modem configuration applied via the «Communication Manager» are lost
when closing the UCST (instances).
If your PC/computer runs the Windows® 2000 operating system, the PC/computer meets the ba-
sic requirements (microprocessor type/speed, RAM, hard disk, CD-ROM drive) to run the UCST
(32-bit versions) software.
For your convenience and a reasonable performance, your desktop or laptop PC/computer should
meet the following additional requirements:
Page 80 of 129 Release Note UMUX & UCST R8B SP02 and related functions EN/LZTBU 980 415/512 RA
UCST R8B © KEYMILE AG
The same requirements and recommendation apply as for running the UCST under the Windows®
2000 operating system.
The same requirements and recommendation apply as for running the UCST under the Windows®
2000 operating system.
The same requirements and recommendation apply as for running the UCST under the Windows®
2000 operating system.
The additional requirements quoted are not requirements to run Windows® 2000/ XP
Professional/Server 2003 but complementary requirements to run the UCST under
Windows® 2000/XP Professional/Server 2003.

Recent PC/notebook hardware may have no physical RS-232C interface. With a USB to RS-232C
serial converter it is possible to physically implement the RS-232 C interface for the UMUX F- and
Q1-interfaces, modems etc. for these PC/notebooks.
A dedicated Engineering Bulletin (EN/LZTBU 880 148) is available which describes the installation
and commissioning of such devices for the application with the UCST. The EB includes a list of
recommended USB to RS-232C serial converters that have been successfully tested with Win-
dows® XP Professional and the UCST.

The installation of the current Service Pack automatically updates the UCST with the contents of
the previously released Service Packs (if applicable). Thus, with your new Service Pack you do not
need any of the previously released Service Packs.
1. Login to your PC with administrator rights (if applicable).
2. Ensure that all running UCST programs and instances are closed.
3. Run UCST_R8B_SPxx.exe on the CD-ROM containing the UCST Service Pack software.
The Service Pack installation utility searches automatically for the appropriate UCST installation
and guides you through the Service Pack installation process.
The current service pack for UNEM R8B is SP02.
Please note that the upgrade procedure for customer specific UCST versions may dif-
fer from the above upgrade description.

6.2 Configuration
6.2.2 Procedures
Before upgrading (UCST, embedded software, unit templates, configuration), it is of ultimate impor-
tance to save the configuration of all affected NEs using the existing (old) UCST. Although not
imperative in all cases of upgrades, this measure will prevent any possible loss of configuration
data.
To upgrade an existing configuration to a configuration with more recent templates and ESW pro-
ceed as follows:
• Install the new UCST on the PC (that you want to use to upgrade NEs)
• Upload the configuration from the NE
(refer to comments on compatibility of configurations above)
• Save configuration
(refer to comments above)
• Only if applicable: Replace hardware with compatible new unit(s)
• Deliver and install new ESW, corresponding to the unit to upgrade (download)
• Convert unit to the new template (download)
• Update the NE configuration if necessary (download)
Page 85 of 129 Release Note UMUX & UCST R8B SP02 and related functions EN/LZTBU 980 415/512 RA
Compatibility and upgrades © KEYMILE AG
Please note:
If you want to upgrade and the control unit is affected, the COBU<x> unit must be up-
graded in a first step before you upgrade the other units and functions.
In systems with redundant COBU<x> units, the ESW must also be installed in the redun-
dant unit (“update redundant unit”).
Because of enhanced function implementation in the new UCST, legacy configuration can loose
(depending on the upgrade step) particular configuration information when upgrading.
This applies in particular for
• Cross connections of the SDH ECCs via the SDH SOH (MS and RS path overhead)
(Flexible SOH byte use with the UCST R5B and higher)
• Cross connections of UBUS units with 1+1 protection
(Unified traffic protection for all units with the UCST R5A and higher)
• Special upgrade procedure for the PHLC3
If upgrades affect any of the above functions you must recreate the affected cross connections af-
ter the upgrade.

Compatibility and upgrades © KEYMILE AG
To support all functions of the new UMUX / UCST release, the NEs must operate with R5 Control
Units running the latest COBUX ESW (If applicable you must upgrade your Control Units to R5
as described below).
Functions and units as follows require R5 templates and/or R5 ESW:
>= R5D ESW:
- ATM, NGN (IPSMG) functionality (R5 templates and ESW)
- Enhanced handling of configuration data (R5 templates and ESW)
- NEBRO, NEBRA Ethernet over SDH functionality (R5 ESW)
- NEBRE Ethernet switch (R5 ESW)
- SUBH subscriber line interfaces (R5 ESW)
- DATA<X> versatile data interface unit (R5 ESW)
>= R5E or more recent ESW:
- IPLM1/2/4 and IPLM6 IP DSLAM (R5 templates and ESW)
- SYNUF (R5 ESW)
>= R5H ESW:
- SYN4E (R5 ESW)
Please note that intermediate ESW for COBU<X> has also been released to correct func-
tional deficiencies. Accordingly, an unconditional update to R5 Control Units with the
most recent ESW is strongly recommended.

Compatibility and upgrades © KEYMILE AG
To the upgrade of your control units in the UMUX NEs to R5 you should always use the current
UCST and the most recent released COBUX ESW version – currently the COBUX_R5H ESW.
Please note that the upgrade of control units is crucial. To upgrade proceed as follows:
• Install the new UCST on your PC/computer.
• Connect the EM to the NE that you want to upgrade.
• Load the NE configuration from the NE to the EM (upload).
• Save the configuration file (strongly recommended).
• Deliver the new COBU<X> R5H ESW. Do not remove old APDSW files from the NE!
• Configure the installation of the new ESW for the control unit.
• Download this configuration (e.g. via a partial download) to the NE.
• Check if the new COBUX ESW is running via the Inventory dialogue (the Software Installation
Status dialogue is only available with the COBU<X> R5).
• If the NE has a protecting COBU<X>,
Open the COBU<X> status dialogue (Board tab) and make sure, that the redundant control unit
is synchronised with the active control unit.
To achieve synchronism, you must press the button [Update Redundant Control Unit]. The up-
date can take a couple of minutes, depending on the number of ESW files that are stored in the
active COBU<X> MIB.
• Convert the templates of the control unit to the new R5 templates if required (via the NE Con-
figuration… → Convert Units… menu)
• Download the configuration with the new templates to the NE
(e.g. via a partial download).
The upgrade of control units is crucial
Never upgrade to a new COBU<X> R5 template unless you have checked that a COBUX
R5 ESW is active on master and slave unit!
Please note that it is
• not allowed to downgrade a NE (SW installation of COBUX ESW R1 … R4 is not ac-
cepted if COBUX R5 ESW (or higher) is running).
• no longer possible to manage a NE with UNEM/UCST R5<X> if its COBU<X> has
been upgraded to R5 (both COBUX ESW and COBU<X> template).

The UMUX control units support different brands of PC memory cards. To this end, the control unit
is able to detect the type of the memory card and use the appropriate software driver.
The introduction of new PC memory card products requires an upgrade of the corresponding driv-
ers, which are provided with the APDSW software. The most recent APDSW_R1.C03 (introduced
with the UCST R4C) supports all the PC memory card products used with the UMUX control units.
Running COBUX ESW older than COBUX_R3.B32 is not possible with some of the currently used
PC memory card products. Trying to run such an ESW with these memory cards will create a soft-
ware installation error. To eliminate this failure, the control unit requires the upgrade of its ESW
and APDSW to remain compatible with all the PC memory card products:
• Delivery of the APDSW_R1.C03 to the NE.
• Delivery of the COBUX_R5.H02 ESW or a more recent ESW (but at least the COBUX_R3.B32
ESW) to the NE.
• Configuration of the new ESW installation for the control unit.
• Download of the new configuration, which activates the new ESW.
Please note that
• It is always preferable to run the most recent control unit ESW.
The COBUX_R5.F02 is currently the most recent ESW available.
• The COBU<X> is delivered with a 16 MBytes PC memory card (8 Mbytes cards are
no longer available).

Compatibility and upgrades © KEYMILE AG
Over production time some of the components of the unit hardware are no longer available as
standard components and have been replaced by functionally compatible components and circuits.
Such a replacement provides new hardware for the affected units.
The new unit hardware implies a new hardware key and thus an adaptation of the ESW for com-
patibility with the new hardware (HW key). The new ESW is backward compatible. You can run the
new ESW on old unit hardware. However, it is not possible to run old ESW on the new unit hard-
ware. The new unit hardware imperatively requires the new ESW versions.
Refer to «Summary of units» on page 38 for the old and new compatible ESW and, if applicable,
for special entries («Ditto with new HW/ESW») concerning functions with new unit hardware.
The units IPSMG 705 and 706 are handled as ABUS units, while the IPSMG 707 is an SBUS unit.
• Adding of an IPSMG 707 to a bus sector with an already equipped IPSMG 705 or 706, is not
possible. The equipped IPSMG 705 or 706 units must first be converted to IPSMG 707 units.
• It is not possible to add an IPSMG 707 unit to a bus sector that already contains ABUS units. If
available, use the second bus sector of the subrack to add the IPSMG 707.
6.7 NE traffic
The standard upgrade procedure can disturb the NE traffic. However, if the upgrade requires the
restart of the COBU<X>, the (UBUS) traffic is shortly interrupted. Upgrades with loss of cross con-
nections create interruptions for the traffic signals.

The UCST unit template (e.g. COBUX 212) is specific for the features and functions of a function
unit as described in the UMUX customer documentation (e.g. «UMUX Technical Descriptions Units
COBUX 219, 223, 212, 213 & COBUV 220, 224, 217, 218»).
Such a function unit is introduced with a particular UCST & UNEM release and is supported by
subsequent releases of the management software for as long as required. Typically, a function unit
is no longer supported when an updated function unit (with a new UCST unit template) with en-
hanced features and functions is introduced.
Each new release of an ESW supports all earlier UCST unit templates, provided that it is compati-
ble with the unit hardware. Such an incompatibility is only possible if a new modified hardware ver-
sion for the function unit replaces previous hardware and this new hardware is more recent than
the locally available ESW (Please note that ESW delivered with the unit hardware is always com-
patible with this hardware).

For registered customers, the most recent ESW is also available for download from KEYMILE's Ex-
tranet.
Example:
Assumption: You operate the COBUX 145 in the NEs of your UMUX network.
The COBUX 145 has been initially introduced with the
− UCST & UNEM R4C
− COBUX R3D ESW
To order a new compatible COBUX for your NEs, just specify the generic function unit
«COBUX-FU» with the KM ordering code A24A3651.
With this, you will receive the COBUX hardware (unit) and the most recent COBUX ESW.
The configuration of your NE with the COBUX 145 template and any COBUX ESW equal to or
newer than COBUX R3D will create the COBUX 145 functionality in your NE.

8 Limitations
8.1 Overview
This chapter describes known limitations and deviations from specified system behaviour of the
UMUX/UCST R8B SP02 release. In this document both types are handled under the term «limita-
tions».
A limitation can have temporary or permanent significance:
• Temporary
Limitations are temporary if it is it is possible to fix them. Typically this type of limitation is due to
deficiencies of the system implementation.
For temporary limitations, a release is specified which clears the limitation. Depending on the
impact of the deficiency and its correction, it is not always possible to precisely schedule such a
release.
• Permanent
Limitations are permanent if it is not (reasonably) possible to fix them. Typically this type of limi-
tation is inherent to the system implementation or given by the chip sets used.
If available, KEYMILE provides a workaround to eliminate or reduce the impact of a limitation.
